Rivertown's FINALLY open at Dreamworld Gold Coast! Jungle Rush, Murrisippi Motors and Jane's Rivertown Restaurant are now officially open for guests to enjoy. In this video we attend a special VIP event, watch the Rivertown opening ceremony, and have a look around the land and its new rides! Thanks for watching
I’m from the US and honestly both this and the Wizard of Oz area at Warner Brothers are getting me to start devising a plan to do an Australian coaster trip next time I go international.
There's a lot of awesome theme park stuff down under now, great time to come visit! Be sure to wait for Scooby Doo at Movie World to reopen, you don't want to miss it!
Thank you! It was a nice feeling to finally get noticed after making weekly updates. 2024 was kind of crazy with both Rivertown and Wizard of Oz to cover lol, 2025 is going to feel very different. At least we have King Claw and the Scooby Doo reopening to look forward to
amazing video mate i actually cant wait to try it out. I'm going to try get my own footage to post I know I have said that before lol but the previous videos have turned out awful so i never posted them. Jungle, I think i have seen you around filming next time I do I will say hi and hope its not some other person just filming lmfao
After the terrible experience I had at Movie World's White Christmas, I'm rooting for Dreamworld all the way! The atmosphere is so much better and I hope the ride lineup catches up!
I had an amazing birthday🥳. I was there too. I went on JUNGLE Rush 5 times, got a photo with Shane, and i said hi to Orangutan for you. I asked some people if it was you and they said no, lol. Hope to say hi to you someday at one of the theme parks.🤗😎🤗😎🤗
Someone in the background yelled out then write thema letter as we the guests stood baking on the burning HOT concrete in the Queensland Sun with Not Shade No Offer Of A Complimentary Cold Bottle Of Water Being Held Out From Anyone Behind The RiverTown Barrier Sign Used To Separate Us From The Political Class & The 9 News Camera Trust Me There Was A Lot More Said Maybe Invest In A Sound Audio In The Gallery To Learn From Your Demographic
The pass was actually given to us by the park! Ironically I don't think we needed it in the end as we were at the front of the queue anyway lol The rides at the park open at 10:30, and the opening ceremony ended at 10:27. I understand the excitement of wanting to get in to the land, but the park didn't exactly force people to wait in the sun
I think I figured out how the turntable works. I commented on the soft opening video about it if you remember. You go over a switch track before going up the turntable. The switch track switches, and the turntable goes to the left. You go through a small bit of the layout before going back over the same switch track and up the turntable again. Then it goes to the right, and you do the rest of the layout. If I'm wrong, plz tell me, but that's the only logical solution for how the train goes out forwards and comes back backwards that I can think of.
I have to ask you what do you do your filming on? I`m thinking of going the gopro hero 4 option instead of using my phone which is becoming more and more unreliable. It would be great to see them eventually bring something back to the water along the lines of the Jungle Cruise at Disney.
A great "Swiss army knife" camera is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which seems to have become the Vlogging camera of choice for many creators. It's awesome, and I used it for most of this video. I'd recommend that! I also use a Sony handy cam for some shots when I need a good zoom, like the opening ceremony..
@@ThemeParkOgre Thanks for that. Have you had much interaction with gopro`s? I`m thinking as a starter and my budget, it could be a good option. Have an excellent Xmas too.
@@brenfisch9184 Thank you, same to you! I do have a GoPro, but I only use it for POVs (which doesn't happen often sadly) so I don't have much experience or knowledge about them. From what I've seen and read, the DJI action cam equivalents are much better.
I think I liked the mountain they had in their original concept art more than the temple but it certainly looks like it has turned out very well themed. The Wizard of Oz land looks like they themed parts of the land really well but left big parts totally unthemed which looks nowhere near as good as what Dreamworld have done here. Very impressive.
DW like feedback, well Suggested Next steps: 1) Please God, get rid of that monstrosity of a yellow "motorcoaster" must be well past its use-by date anyhow! 2) Return the IMAX Theatre BUILDING to its original look and find and send for mental health assessment, the nut[s] who turned it into that completely weird looking abomination it currently is! 3) Build a new high quality Rocky Hollow Log Ride, the Park needs a quality new water based ride and Rocky Hollow was a classic attraction and great branding! Well done on taking a few steps away from the cheesy-n-cheap DW of the past 20yrs, back toward a deeper and more thoughtful THEME PARK!
Greg mentioned in an interview they are aware that something needs to be done with Motocoaster. Will be interesting to see if they decide to retheme or remove it I agree, hopefully the Sky Voyager building eventually gets made to fit with the rest of Main Street They do need a new water ride for sure. I understand that they're probably worried about people linking it to the accident though - probably need to think outside the box for this and make it unique It's fantastic the direction they're currently going!

I would recommend it
Rivertown definitely blow away my expectations, it’s incredible 👍🏼
Agreed, my expectations were high and it delivered!
Thx for sharing . Def deserved the invite. You’re a frequent visitor/ promoter .
Next year may be a bit slower !
Thank you! It was a nice feeling to finally get noticed after making weekly updates.

JUNGLE
Have a great time when you visit the JUNGLE!
After the terrible experience I had at Movie World's White Christmas, I'm rooting for Dreamworld all the way! The atmosphere is so much better and I hope the ride lineup catches up!
Dreamworld are definitely the better overall park package at the moment!
Dreamworlds longest but best opening ceremony looked awesome!
It was awesome!
we finally spotted the Ogre! 😀
That handsome devil?
Honestly my fav part of this ride is the rock sliding noise affects when the turntable moves.
The sound effects in the turntable room are awesome!
I had an amazing birthday🥳. I was there too. I went on JUNGLE Rush 5 times, got a photo with Shane, and i said hi to Orangutan for you. I asked some people if it was you and they said no, lol. Hope to say hi to you someday at one of the theme parks.🤗😎🤗😎🤗
Happy Belated Birthday! Glad you had an awesome visit and said hi to my Orangutan buddy. Keep an eye out for any Ogres!
@ThemeParkOgre Thank you, and you're welcome 🤗 I sure to look out for any Ogres🤗🤗🤗🤗 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅🧑🎄🎊
@@carlyfuller7900 Same to you!
21:34 single Express Pass -__+
True

Hey! Yeah, I believe that's correct, at least for the cycle they're currently doing for the ride.
I have to ask you what do you do your filming on? I`m thinking of going the gopro hero 4 option instead of using my phone which is becoming more and more unreliable. It would be great to see them eventually bring something back to the water along the lines of the Jungle Cruise at Disney.

@@ThemeParkOgre Doing research and it seems the DJI are the better option. Hope to see you at one of the parks soon.
Think a certain park down the road need to look at this in regards to quality of theming....
I agree with you there! I've heard that a lot recently lol
Funny to hear the Flying Dutchmen theme song of the Efteling in the Netherlands. Is it not copyrighted to the Efteling themepark?
I think Dreamworld were being cheeky. The Chiapas soundtrack from Phantasialand was also playing!
What camera do you use?
I use a few. For this is was a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and Sony AX53 Handycam
Hi there, is it okay if I can use your Jungle Rush video as I forgot to record mine please? I will give you credit
Hey! Feel free to use any of my footage for your content, as long as it's credited
@ thanks
I think I liked the mountain they had in their original concept art more than the temple but it certainly looks like it has turned out very well themed. The Wizard of Oz land looks like they themed parts of the land really well but left big parts totally unthemed which looks nowhere near as good as what Dreamworld have done here. Very impressive.
It's interesting as both were themed by the same company. I guess Dreamworld had a much larger budget!
Can you do a pov of that in the next video?
Sadly you're not allowed to film on the coasters. I have asked the park though, so stay tuned!
JUNGLE
Welcome to the JUNGLE!
Is this in the space where all those people died?
No, this replaced the old Wiggles World area.
75 million to marketing wtf
Did they say 75 million?
The ceremony took sooooo long
It was quite long, especially standing in the sun! But after all the work they put in I'd say it was worth it
